My two little sisters came out to Reno last week with their families and it was so great to be with them. Ligia, Matt and Maddie came out mid week, and while they were here, they got to go floating down the Truckee, we went to Great Basin Adventure with them and we even snuck in dinner at La Famiglia, which I think is THE BEST Italian restaurant here. The rest of the time, we relaxed, went swimming at the pool, and hung out with my other sister Becky, and her husband Garrett, and daughter Adeline who arrived on Thursday. After everyone arrived in Reno, we went to Tahoe. We started off in Sand Harbor and had so much fun on our tubes and inflatable raft that I bought. It seriously was so much fun paddling around on that thing. Then we headed south to the Tahoe Keys where we rented a house. Friday was also Dallin's birthday, so we celebrated by making him a delicious meal (thanks to Lee & Matt) and brownies covered in 37 candles!
The next day, we hit the private beach in the Tahoe Keys with the kiddos. On Sunday, we went to church, then went walking on a little nature trail by the house. In the afternoon, Dallin and I took the kids out on a little bike ride over by Camp Richardson. Then finally, on Monday, we got all of the kids ready and went hiking with them. We got a little lost on the hike, which meant we hiked a little more than we should have, but all of the kids were troopers and did great! In between all of that, we watched movies, ate great food, tried to catch a nap here and there, and of course played games like mad gab and scattergories. I was so sad to see my sisters and their cute families go after such a fun-filled week. But hopefully, us getting together will become a more "regular" thing. So, thank you to my sisters for making the effort to come out and visit us. We had such a blast!!
My sister's pictures came out a lot better than my did, but I at least wanted to post some pictures of their visit before I forget all of the fun things we did!
